In the last week I finished the upgrade of the Joomla Content Management System, that we use for the site of our association OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. We use now Joomla 1.5.10. You can see a screenshot of the new site below. There are only very slight differences for the user. But it's a very big step forward for administrators.

This weekend I created a new Plone instance for OOoAuthors. I had to manage some issues. Now the first steps of the setup process are finished. We could start with customizing and copying the content from the current instance in the next days. This will last some time, because there is much content to copy.
The new instance will be much easier to maintain. It is setup with the current buildout process.

Last weekend I finished the setup of the new Joomla instance for our association OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. (OOoDeV). Today there was an security update for Joomla. Therefor I updated the new OOoDeV site from Joomla 1.5.9 to 1.5.10 without any issues.">

I checked out OOo300m45 from the subversion repository yesterday. Today I build OOo out of this source without binfilter, with-system-mozilla and without-ldap on an netbook with an Atom 270 processor and openSuSE 11.1 The buildtime in this environment was about 13 hours and 15 minutes. I got now a installation set of rpm files on my box. Tomorrow I'll install and test them.

In the last days I managed to upgrade the site of our assoziation OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. (OOoDeV) from Joomla 1.0.15 to 1.5.9. There are many new features inside this new version. Everything that we need to run our site is part of Joomla-Core now. The most difficult work was to set the old search engine friendly URLs to the same pages inside the new site. Today we get the solution for this. Now every thing is finished and the new site will go online in the next days.
If you come across to our site (http://www.ooodev.org) you won't see anything different. The impressive changes are inside Joomla. Every thing works now more smoothly.
